New Music Friday: "Mighty Name of Jesus" by Hope Darst

There’s something so powerful about speaking the name of Jesus over our lives, our families, and our circumstances. Scripture tells us that there is no other name greater, no other name with such authority, and no other name that brings healing, freedom, and peace. That’s exactly what worship leader Hope Darst captures in her newest song, “Mighty Name of Jesus.”

Hope Darst is a worship leader who has a heart for the local church and for writing songs that are anthems to cling to in any season. “Mighty Name of Jesus” is one of those anthems—bold, prayerful, and filled with faith. She wrote this song as a prayer, hoping it would encourage people who find themselves in impossible situations to believe again for God to do the impossible.

From the very first lines, Hope prays with authority and reminds us that the Spirit of God is with us:

I pray into the atmosphere, Spirit of God You’re here, You have all authority

The song builds into a bold chorus that declares the victory we have in Christ:

In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Calling on the power of heaven I proclaim, Every weapon formed against me, it must break, In the mighty name of Jesus

What makes this song so moving is that it’s not just lyrics—it’s a proclamation of truth over fear, over darkness, and over the lies of the enemy. Hope sings with conviction that the blood of Jesus protects us, and that no scheme of the enemy can undo God’s plans.

This song is a reminder that we don’t have to live in fear. We can draw a boundary line around our lives, our families, and our hearts, knowing that Jesus has already won the victory.

So whether you’re walking through a battle, believing for a breakthrough, or simply needing a fresh reminder of God’s power, let “Mighty Name of Jesus” be your anthem. Sing it loud, declare it over your life, and let faith rise up in your heart.

Because every fear, every weapon, and every scheme of the enemy must bow—in the mighty name of Jesus.
